Handcrafted with Love and Care
ThreadBear
Each creation carries a story — of time, touch, and the quiet joy of turning simple materials into something meaningful.
ThreadBear is about finding wonder in small things: the curve of a stitch, the shimmer of light through glass, the feeling of something made slowly and with heart.
It’s an invitation to surround yourself with pieces that hold warmth, whimsy, and a trace of the maker’s hand.
About ThreadBear
Where creativity meets craftsmanship.
Hi! My name is Kerryn and ThreadBear is my small label born from a love of handmade craft — from quilts stitched with care to stained glass that catches the light just right. It’s a place where I slow down, make with my hands, and reconnect with creativity. ThreadBear reminds me that creating isn’t just about making things — it’s about giving back to myself. Every piece I make is a small act of care, patience, and joy.

Behind the Scenes 🪡
Once our punch needle piece is finished and just before we take it off the frame. We secure all the beautiful little punches with a latex based glue. This gives the bag the movement it needs but also makes sure that each pile of wool stays in place.
Once all set we can remove it from the frame and start hemming and stitching the purse together. This is all done by hand to ensure that each stitch is deliberately placed where it needs to be. The hemming process allows for a nice structural border of the punched pattern and allows for some strength when attaching the magnetic close.
